  • Licensed under Apache License 2.0 per the project's GitHub repository (argoproj/argo-cd LICENSE); as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare
  • The quick start installation requires the --server-side and --force-conflicts flags due to CRD size limitations, per argo-cd.readthedocs.io, a constraint the documentation states explicitly

Deno

  • The runtime itself is MIT licensed per the project's GitHub repository (denoland/deno LICENSE.md) with no cost, but Deno Deploy's free tier caps at 1 million requests and 15 CPU hours per month, per deno.com/deploy/pricing (Aug 2026)
  • Deno Deploy Pro at $20 per month charges $2 per additional million requests and $0.05 per additional CPU hour once the included quota is exceeded, per deno.com/deploy/pricing
